Scientists have confirmed the second case of a "virgin birth" in a shark. In a study reported Friday in the Journal of Fish Biology, scientists said DNA testing proved that a pup carried by a female Atlantic blacktip shark in the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center contained no genetic material from a male.
The other thing that was strange was that the shark closely resembled Marty the Tank Cleaner, who recently left his job at the aquarium and has not been seen in a while.

WOW! finally PROOF. Virgin births are possible. The Bible is TRUE, Mary was quite a gal.

So the Mary of who you speak, is a shark or a lizard?
Also, why don't all christians, if they really have faith in their god idea, have virgin births. Come on, where is your faith?
Oh, or are you suggesting that the christian god-idea is having sex with animals again?

This is very interesting - and it's not a fish tale!
It's a human tale!
